What a tremendous idea! Here is L. Neil Smith's
classic libertarian science fiction novel, Prometheus Award
winning
The Probability Broach, transformed
into a comic book—er—graphic novel—with story by Smith and artwork
by Scott Bieser. The artwork and use of colour are
delightful—particularly how Win Bear's home world is rendered in
drab collectivist grey and the North American Confederacy in vibrant
hues. Lucy Kropotkin looks precisely as I'd imagined her.
Be sure to look at all the detail and fine print in the large
multi-panel spreads. After enjoying a couple of hours back in the
Confederacy, why not order copies to give to all the kids in the
family who've never thought about what it would be like to live in
a world where free individuals entirely owned their own lives?
